Trouble in Paradise
Archie Your track at Albion park looks super. But has Mr Seymour looked at the shite track down here at Globe Derby? We are having horses break down every day. Peta from Paradise 5075
The Needle Mark That Wasn’t There in the Morning – Did the SA Stewards Come Down in the Last Shower or What?
The Jason Warren trained Grand Pierro had traveled down from Mornington to race in the Adelaide Cup. Four days before the Cup, on the Thursday, the Stewards took out of competition samples from the horse. On Cup Day on the Monday it was inspected by Stewards in the morning. No marks, scratches, puncture wounds or […]
Thoughts on Dirt and Dusty Days
Hi Peter, What a day yesterday at the Victor Harbour trots. After the start of the first race half the crowd stationed on the fence had to have their eyes rinsed out due to all the dust from the track, and some drivers needed GPS guidance assistance to find their way up the home straight. […]
Hits and Misses at Globe Derby Park
With no Albion Park last night we thought we’d turn our attention to the betting fluctuations at Globe Derby, where there have been some significant plunges come off lately. Some good bets were landed again last night, most significantly on the first winner Trigger which was backed from double figures into $5.00, the 4th race […]
It Might Have All Just Been a Mistake – But it Might Not Have Too
You need to watch this one twice to get it. The back marker is a horse called Efficiently, trained and driven by a small-timer named Des Nolan, with whom I am not familiar. He certainly doesn’t drive much, or I would be. I’m not sure if it was Nolan’s money or others, but Efficiently has […]
He Can Handle the Turns – But Can Reece Moore Handle the Truth?
Remember our story The Sussest Race in the World, in which we told you a couple of weeks ago about the rort the Reece Moore stable pulled to get their odds-on favorite beaten by one of the stablemates in a race in which Moore had four of the six runners? The odds on fave that […]
Its Only a Rort if You’re Not in on It
Remember the team driving rort by the Reece Moore stable at Port Pirie on Friday night? The one where the odds on favorite was put out the back and not pulled out to make its run until it was too late, thus allowing the stablemate and leader to win? Well the same two horses clashed […]
The Sussest Race in the World
Race 6 at Port Pirie yesterday was a recipe for trouble. It proved to be exactly that too. Trainer Reece Moore had four runners in the race. One of them was the odds on $1.60 favorite, driven by Moore himself. Another was the 2nd favorite Love To Deal, drawn gate 4 and driven by Wayne […]
Here He Is – Living in a Shoe
There was an old woman who lived in a shoe. She had so many children, she didn’t know what to do. She gave them some broth without any bread; Then whipped them all soundly and put them to bed We asked a question during the week about where Aaron Bain was, having not raced a […]
Where’s Aaron Bain?
South Australian trot trainer Aaron Bain hasn’t had any of his stable horses start in a race since the 30th of November. Usually Bain has multiple runners every week, often 2 or 3 times a week. But in the last 3 and 1/2 weeks he has had none. Why not? It’s a mystery to us. […]
